Abstract
We1 have made the most precise determination to date of a nuclear charge distribution. Now that our result is published, it should serve as a standard to which all electron scattering data will be normalized2. What I wish to present here is a sketch of the current state of experimental electron scattering, a synopsis of our difficult measurement, and a glimpse of the process by which we achieved our results.

References and Footnotes
‘We’ as used in the text is a time dependent variable. At the outset it includes John Dunning. When work began at the National Bureau of Standards it was augmented by Jim Leiss, Jack Lightbody and Sam Penner. Two Virginia Tech students were involved early on: Garlan Grammer and Don Stevens. The remaining authors of Ref. 2 join in as the experiment progressed.
